after disposing of a certain proportion of their sheep and horses. In travelling, they pass the night on the plains or open lands. Arrived at the place of their destination, they construct their little huts or tents of the materials they carry with them, assisted by the stones, straw, or earth, which they find on the spot."
According to Dr. Sibthorp (in Walpole's Memoirs, p. 141.),
"a wandering tribe of Nomads" on the other side of Greece
drive their flocks from the mountains of Thessaly into the
plains of Attica and Bœotia to pass the winter. "They give
some pecuniary consideration to the Pasha of Negropont and
Vaivode of Athens. These people are much famed for their
woollen manufactures, particularly the coats or cloaks worn by
the Greek sailors."
